Chapter 318: Chapter 316: The Nobles Really Know How to Have Fun (Part 2)

Xiao Yi spent quite some time to make sure he hadn’t heard wrong.

He slightly lifted his head buried in the woman’s neck, and saw the pair of delicate, fair ears of the woman facing him, now tinged with an enticing pink. He suddenly understood something, felt deeply moved, and couldn’t help but close his eyes tightly, barely restraining the wicked thoughts that erupted in his heart.

Noticing the change in his body, he quickly released the woman before she sensed anything, and took a restrained step back.

Suddenly surrounded by the cold air outside, Xu Jing was slightly stunned. She turned her head and looked at the man in front of her, somewhat confused, "Is it over already?"

She thought, seeing Mr. Xiao’s rogue-like manner, it would at least take him half a day.

The man now seemed somewhat peculiar too. His handsome, fair face was slightly flushed, and his black eyes had a bewildered look as if he were drunk, giving Xu Jing the impression of being pitifully misty for a moment.

At that moment, the man in front of her overlapped with a little point far away in the Western Capital.

When that little point wanted her to accompany him more but was too shy to say, he used to look at her with such a pitiful gaze, making her surrender every time.

Xu Jing blinked and couldn’t help but laugh, "What’s wrong with you again?"

Even she didn’t realize her words carried a hint of unconscious affection.

Xiao Yi was moved again and quickly took another step back, lightly coughed, and said, "It’s nothing, Jing, didn’t you just say you wanted to see my wound first?"

Xu Jing raised her brow slightly and looked at him with a thoughtful expression.

She had said she wanted to see his wound ever since they reunited, hadn’t she? This guy hadn’t taken her words seriously earlier, why suddenly so obedient now?

She was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Right, you sit on the long couch first, I’ll call someone to bring some water and clean gauze over."

She originally wanted to say bed, but thinking the bed would be slept on at night, she didn’t want to dirty it, so she changed her wording at the last second.

After saying that, she went outside to call someone.

When she returned to the room, sure enough, she saw the man already sitting obediently on the bed, his moist, black eyes following her like a silent and loyal big dog.

Xu Jing couldn’t help but be amused by the sudden analogy in her heart. She used to never dare associate the gentlemanly Mr. Xiao with a creature like a big dog.

It could only be said that Xiao Yi and Xiao Huai’an were indeed father and son. Every time she saw Xiao Huai’an act spoiled and pitiful in front of her, she’d wonder where he learned those skills.

Apparently, it was inherited from his father.

She walked over amusingly, took a careful look at the man in front of her, and said, "Your face seems less red than it was before. I was worried just now that your wound might be infected, causing a fever."

It was just a casual remark, but the man’s face seemed to stiffen, and the blush on his face even showed signs of deepening.

Xu Jing looked at him somewhat surprised, could his wound really be infected? Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said, "Take off your clothes first."

The man seemed a bit uncomfortable and glanced at her, saying, "Jing, it’s just a small wound, the city’s doctor has already bandaged it for me..."

This wound had occurred when Yan Ci and Cheng Xiao came to find him, intending to tell him the whole truth. Yuan Zaili’s men, ambushed near him, had attacked.

The men Yuan Zaili placed beside him hadn’t seen Yan Ci and Cheng Xiao, but as elite guards of Yuan Zaili, they noticed something was amiss almost immediately and suddenly drew a Soft Sword hidden on them, striking at his vital point before Yan Ci and Cheng Xiao could reach him.

Fortunately, he was prepared and dodged in time, so they didn’t succeed, but his right shoulder was still slashed.

Xu Jing’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

What was he saying? Wasn’t he the one who said to let her see the wound earlier?

She suddenly awakened her doctor’s instincts, and to this disobedient patient, she said in a domineering low voice, "Stop the nonsense, take them off immediately!"

Xiao Yi: "..."

Something seemed off with the way things were unfolding.

The servant entering with a basin of warm water heard Xu Jing’s domineering words just in time, their hand trembled, nearly spilling the water in the basin.

Tut tut tut, these nobles from the Western Capital certainly played quite luxuriously behind closed doors.

Poor Vice Minister Xiao, still injured, who knew if he could handle it.

The servant looked at Xiao Yi with extreme pity, set down what they were holding, and fled as if fleeing for their life.

They feared that if they left any later, they’d witness something they shouldn’t see!

Under Xu Jing’s aggressive gaze, Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, finally beginning to leisurely undress, starting with the outer armor, then the outer garment, and finally the two layers of innerwear...

Xu Jing waited for a long time, seeing that he still hadn’t started undressing the innermost layer, she finally lost her patience completely and directly reached out, "Fine, I’ll help you..."

Xiao Yi was momentarily stunned, not reacting in time, and thus allowed the woman in front of him to pull open his innerwear.

Instantly, a lean but sturdy body appeared before Xu Jing. Xu Jing stiffened slightly, and her previously suppressed girlish heart, under her doctor instincts, began to awaken slightly, her face slightly reddening.

However, the next moment, when she saw the old scars covering his body, her heart trembled slightly, and the hint of shyness was instantly replaced by disbelief and heartache. Before she realized it, her right hand had instinctively reached out, gently rubbing the scar crossing his chest, murmuring, "Is this... from your time in the army?"

She remembered Xiao Yi had said before that he had many scars on his body, and one more or less didn’t matter.

She never thought he was telling the truth.

When that soft, cool fingertip touched his scar, Xiao Yi’s entire being tensed uncontrollably, the blush on his face deepening even more, feeling as if an uncontrollable beast in his heart was tugging at his reason, making him not even dare to exhale hard.

Fearing that if he exhaled, his uncontrollable vile thoughts would be sensed by the woman in front of him.

But how could he? She was clearly just intent on seeing his wound, just worried about him... How could he tell her that he couldn’t help but have wicked thoughts about her while holding her earlier?

He had been pure-hearted and ascetic for so many years, and although he occasionally felt some instinctual impulses, and there were many temptations targeting him, it wasn’t hard for him to suppress these impulses through his self-control.

Who could have thought that one day, a woman merely standing unassumingly in front of him, without the slightest manifestation of amorous intention, could make him utterly collapse?

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but smile self-mockingly, realizing he was just an ordinary man, one among a throng of common folks.

The woman before him was still unknowingly rubbing the scars on his body, Xiao Yi suddenly took a deep breath and grabbed the mischievous hand.

Xu Jing was slightly startled, reflexively looking up, seeing the man in front of her with his eyebrows slightly furrowed in discomfort, looking at her with eyes as dark as ink, his voice raspy enough to evoke endless imaginations, "Jing, stop touching."

He paused a moment, somewhat awkwardly added, "If you keep touching, what lies between you and me won’t be merely a trial."
